DNS and Web Hosting Market

Market Overview

According to Reed Intelligence the DNS and Web Hosting Market Size will approximately grow at a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period.

Domain Name System (DNS) converts human-readable domain names into computer-readable IP addresses, allowing your computer to communicate with the website server and access its content. DNS works in the background, and it's not something the average internet user will need to worry about much. But without it, the browser wouldn’t know where to point your web page request, and finding the information you need would be a much more arduous process.

If a person wants to visit a website, the Domain Name System (DNS) will look up the name of that particular website and translate it into numbers (an IP address); this request is called a query. So, instead of entering a website’s IP address, the user must enter its domain name into the browser, and the DNS provider will take care of the rest. One common misconception is that web hosting and DNS hosting are the same. Whereas a web host provides the online space in which your actual website is hosted, a DNS host is a network service that provides the authoritative name server for the domain’s queries.

A DNS host provides the authoritative name servers that answer queries for the website. Without a DNS host, the domain couldn’t be found online. There are free, cheap, and premium DNS providers, all offering a different customer experience. 

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

• The Continuous Need for a Faster Business Website and Reliability in Organizations

Slow website speeds and downtime can cost a lot to organizations to maintain their good relationship with their customers. Hence, DNS and web hosting provide a connection for companies to connect customers to the company’s websites in the fastest and most reliable way possible. DNS platforms are a cost-effective way to create and manage hostnames on domains using a trusted DNS network. Hence, it is always needed by organizations.

Market Restraints

• Largely Affected by the Provider’s Infrastructure

The infrastructure of a provider has a significant impact on DNS speeds, but there are additional elements that influence efficiency. The example that best illustrates this is place.  Some service providers have vast infrastructures and Points of Presence (PoPs) in key cities in the United States. However, their servers are frequently off-premise despite their proximity to data centers. This may seem like a non-issue; however, external locations result in an additional step in the DNS process, which adds crucial milliseconds to each query before a record can be delivered. This may seem like a non-issue; however, external locations result in an additional step in the DNS process.

Market Opportunity

• Rising Adoption of Cloud Hosting in Various Industries

Cloud hosting is becoming more popular among companies and is predicted to continue being a primary growth driver in the market for web hosting services. These hosts provide companies with a safe, secure, and strong base for their business use. To expand their companies, web hosting providers pursue multi-cloud hosting clients. With increasing global industrialization, it is necessary to have Domain Name System (DNS) Forum as a meaningful platform for the regional DNS community to network, exchange ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities.

Market Scope

Segmental Analysis

Segmentation By Type

• Public Cloud

Most cloud computing uses "public clouds." A third-party cloud service provider owns and runs the cloud resources, such as computers and storage, and gives them to users over the Internet. In a public cloud, the provider owns and manages all the gear, software, and other infrastructure that makes it work. A public cloud is something like Microsoft Azure.

• Private Cloud

A private cloud comprises cloud computing tools only used by one company or group. The private cloud can be physically housed at your organization's on-site data center, or a third-party service provider can host it. In a private cloud, on the other hand, the services and assets are always kept on a private network, and the hardware and software are only used by your company.

• Hybrid Cloud

A hybrid cloud is a type of cloud computing that blends on-premises infrastructure or a private cloud with a public cloud. Hybrid clouds let data and apps move between the two locations. Many companies choose a hybrid cloud approach because it's important for their business to meet regulatory and data sovereignty requirements, get the most out of their on-premises technology investments, or deal with problems related to low latency.

Segmentation By Application

• Intranet Site

An intranet is a private network only used by people in the same company. Its main goal is to help employees work together, store information, and safely talk with each other. Organizations primarily use it to share organizational updates, store files, connect employees, collaborate with teams across borders, increase productivity, and give employees a voice.

• Public Website

The World Wide Web is made up of all websites that are open to the public. There are also private websites that can only be viewed on a private network, like a company's internal website for its employees. Users can access websites with desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones, among other things.
